"You...... Coming alone? ”

"Yes, what's wrong Brother Zifan, Xiao Ke didn't cry, although my mother said that there are no ghosts in the world...... But Xiao Ke also has to become stronger. ”

Yu Zifan was stunned for a few seconds, and then said to Jiang Xiaoke beside him with a forced smile:

"A good boy can't lie, it's clear that my mother came with you, how can you say that you came alone? Besides, aren't you still crying at my door and saying that your mother is gone......"

Yu Zifan suddenly felt that something was not quite right as he spoke.

Jiang Xiaoke's face in front of him ......

There are no tear stains.

It really doesn't look like the one who cried not so long ago.

"This little bit is coming alone, you can be quiet for a while, I'm still calculating the finances at hand, or don't go to the lounge in the back room to sit for a while, anyway, we all know the situation of this child, and her mother will call you when she comes back."

Hearing this, Yu Zifan subconsciously looked at the other side of the office, where a woman was sitting, and it seemed that she had chosen to work overtime and catch up with the work progress during this rare and undisturbed weekend.

"Look...... Fortunately, this sister can testify for me, otherwise Brother Zifan would say that Xiao Ke is not only timid, but also likes to lie and deceive people. ”

The little girl smiled a little smugly.

“……”

Yu Zifan only felt that at this moment, his mind was like a thunderbolt, and he couldn't listen to any words at all.

He suddenly remembered...... I watched a horror story called "Ghost Mother" on a movie last night.

What's inside...... is a story about a ghost disguised as his mother and blended into his own home.

The author who wrote this story...... It is also mentioned that the story is based on real-life hearsay.

Impossible, right......

He immediately stood up, turned around and walked towards the door of the neighborhood committee's office.

"Huh...... Brother Zifan, don't you wait for your mother with Xiao Ke? ”

"Hmm...... You...... Stay here for now, and I'll be back soon. ”

Yu Zifan forced himself to squeeze out a smile, and then immediately walked quickly in the direction where he was.

Only Jiang Xiaoke was left to sit alone on the sofa, looking at the back of the person who kept walking away with some puzzlement.

……

The pace gradually increased under the accelerating heartbeat, and in the end it was almost like running.

Yu Zifan's eyes stared in the direction of the windowsill of his house, and the eagerness in his heart had already made him like an ant on a hot pot.

Impossible......

The mother is so normal......

Before I went out, I was still telling me to go back early, and there was my favorite bone broth at noon......

No way......

When pigs fly.

All this ...... It must be the little girl named Jiang Xiaoke who is lying.

This little thing must be taking revenge on itself......

Because he scared her with ghosts, he also wanted to scare himself with this contradictory trick at this time.

Well......

Right.

It must be so.

A child is a child, and there will be no ability for adults to distinguish right from wrong at the first time.

All I have to do now is go home and open the door to see my mother busy in the kitchen.

Then this contradictory lie...... It will be completely self-defeating.

Then I can go back to this neighborhood committee office and pinch the apple face of the little guy who has colluded with others to scare him.

Well...... I had to blush that little face.

Yu Zifan continued to comfort himself, and then brushed the door on the first floor with the access control, and then didn't even want to wait for the elevator, and hurriedly ran all the way to the fifth floor!

Second floor......

3rd Floor ......

4th Floor ......

The floor number plate on the fifth floor finally came into view.

Yu Zifan immediately took three steps and two steps, strode to the top of the steps, and then rushed straight to his own room 502.

Come on...... Bless......

Amitabha Guanyin Bodhisattva......

Be sure to bless me...... When you open the door, you can see the same picture.

Yu Zifan's hand when he took out the keychain trembled, obviously there were only three or four keys on the keychain, but he was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't pick up the one that opened the door of his house alone.

It wasn't until a few seconds passed that Yu Zifan finally sifted out the correct key, and then immediately stabbed it into the keyhole to verify the fingerprint simultaneously.

With a "tick", the door lock opened.

Yu Zifan immediately opened the door, and then poked his head in extremely carefully.

"Mom, you're ......"

The sentence "Mom, you're here" hasn't been able to be fully exported, and Yu Zifan has been stunned in place.

Now—

It was already past ten o'clock in the afternoon.

But in the kitchen...... but it was empty.

Mother who should have been busy in the kitchen washing and chopping vegetables and preparing soup...... Not here.

There are no ingredients on the countertop in the kitchen, as if there is no intention of cooking at home......

“…… Mother? ”

Yu Zifan called softly.

The sound slowly rippled in the extremely quiet kitchen, quietly echoing.

But there was no response from home.

Little by little, fear eats away at the whole body.

Yu Zifan even couldn't help but recall the details of that story.

Impossible, right......

It's true......

Here's the reality......

How could it be the same as what I had seen......

Bang

The sound of a liquid gushing sounded.

Yu Zifan immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the balcony at home......

And then...... Approaching cautiously.

He tiptoed to the side of the balcony and was about to look into the balcony.

Smack.

A completely cold palm......

Suddenly, without warning, he pressed on his shoulder!

……

"Ah!!h

Yu Zifan's body shook suddenly, and he was so shocked that he subconsciously wanted to run away!

"Hey...... Yu Zifan! What are you doing here? What are you doing sneaky at home. ”

Behind him came the voice of the mother.

The other party seemed to be frightened by his thunderous scream, and subconsciously let out an "ah".

Subsequently...... It was the complaining tone that followed.

Yu Zifan turned around, and his mother behind him was staring at him with an inexplicable expression.

"This ...... I ......"

"You kid...... I'm almost forty people here, I can't help but be scared, it's really ......"

The mother gently stroked her chest, as if she had just calmed down.

"Sorry...... I don't think anyone in the family thinks it'......."

Yu Zifan suddenly reacted to something, and then immediately stared at his mother in front of him, and said in a voice like a question:

"No......! Aren't you cooking in the kitchen? ”

"I just found out that there seems to be a problem with the igniter on the stove, and I can't call someone to fix it today, so I'm going to wait for you to come back and go out to eat together......

The mother looked at her son in front of her with a strange look, and she didn't know why the other party's reaction was so big.

"Oh...... That's the case, why are your hands so cold? And what is the noise on the balcony? ”

"Aren't I waiting for you, it's okay to do the laundry first, some clothes can't be machine washed, and I can't always use hot water, a lot of clothes have to shrink."

"Uh...... Then why did you come out from behind me? ”

"I heard the door open, and I was about to go out and tell you we were going out to eat, but when I walked out, I found that there was no one at all, and I wondered if you had come to the balcony from another room."

Yu Zifan was a little embarrassed and wanted to scratch his head.

The balcony at home is connected in both directions, and I already know it......

It seems that it is really a little bit of a scare of yourself...... Scared yourself out.

And...... That little guy was really bluffing himself.

As a result, I was really a little naïve, and I actually suspected something from the bottom of my heart.

Really......

Those messy things can't be seen any more, affecting themselves and their families.

After calming down slightly, Yu Zifan saw his mother walking in the direction of the bedroom that was close to the balcony, and then opened the wardrobe and rummaged through all kinds of clothes as usual.

"You wait for me, I'll find clothes to go out, let's go eat hot pot, if there is a hot pot restaurant open outside according to today's situation."

The mood gradually calmed down.

"Okay."

Yu Zifan immediately glanced sideways, intending to exit the balcony connected to his mother's bedroom.

But just a step forward...... Suddenly, something came to mind.

"Speaking of which, Mom...... Have you accompanied Jiang Xiaoke over? Why did she say she hadn't seen you at all? ”

There was no response in the room.

Yu Zifan was a little confused.

It's okay just now, why don't you talk while chatting?

Then he subconsciously looked into the room.

“…… Mother? ”

But he saw his mother with her back to her......

Motionless in the face of the wardrobe.

Yu Zifan wanted to walk inward with some doubts, wanting to see why his mother was stunned.

But his steps soon stopped......

……

Because in the closet in front of the mother.

One of the sides.

Some of the corners of the clothes had been squeezed out under the mother's previous rummaging.

Topmost...... There was one piece of clothing that made him froze in place.

That ...... It's the pajamas that my mother wears when she comes to pick up her phone.

But ...... It is still worn.

In the cuffs -

A drooping arm was revealed.
